The is a pseudo staged production. It seems as if on stage but is most likely filmed in a studio. It claims to mimic production techniques of the 16th century though it uses women in the female roles. I have not seen a good Tempest on DVD. This is one of two I have been able to find. Consider the lack of competition this is the better of the two, but it is not great. The acting is uneven. Efrem Zimbalist does a nice job as Prospero. It seems like most of the text is present. the speaking cadences are reasonable and it does not descend into the rapid sing song Shakespeare speech that one often hears on stage (the I can't believe I said the whole thing) type of declamation. Good luck finding it on DVD. I have a copy, but I am not sure it is still available through the usual outlets
